[…] ever since Scott recommended it in the quintesential backup thread of 2013. It even made it onto my big list of essential tools. It provides a nice alternative to cloud solutions such as Dropbox by enabling you to sync devices […]

It’s incredible how your list is similar to mine (especially in linux and vim enviroments), anyway something I figured out in 2013 and can’t live without anymore is mosh.

It’s a ssh replacement that plays nicely with roaming, weak wifi connections and has some nice prediction. I don’t even remember how my life was when I switched network and had to reopen my ssh shells and reattach the tmux/screen seesions!

Worth a try!

For Mac users where is a nice alternative for Divvy called Slate. Though it requires some time to set up, the end result will be worth it.

P.S. Thanks for The Silver Searcher it will definitely safe me some time :)

@ switchnode:

The latest versions of µTorrent are add-supported and closed sourced. I think qTorrent is a fork based on µTorrent’s last free version but on a Mac Transmission is just a little bit sleeker and faster (at least was when I first installed it).

Alfred is very similar to Quicksilver but it actually learns your preferences and prioritizes results over time so you can find things quicker.

I guess in both cases it is a matter of preference.

@ Robert:

Thanks! Those are pretty neat. :D

@ ac:

Oh, I thought the fork was unofficial so I figured I’d link to the official page. When I installed and “fixed” my version the github link was not on the front page yet. I shall amend that.

You are referencing the apt-cyg official page, but why don’t you read it ?
At that page, author of the apt-cyg is recommending to use the fork in the github.
You should know that your proposal is not enough to fix problems.

Typo in the Ninite link (htpp).

On the Mac, you might check out Hazel and Keyboard Maestro. Hazel watches folders and runs rules on the files that appear in them. Keyboard Maestro is a powerful macro tool, with a huge variety of triggers and actions. For example, you can have your Mac run certain things when it connects to a particular wifi network.

I’m still using µTorrent and Quicksilver; I didn’t see anything special in Transmission and I’d never heard of Alfred. Is there something I should know that would make me switch?
